Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Nicotine Use: Nursing Implications for Patient Outcomes
J Addict Nurs. 2023 Jul-Sep 01;34(3):E74-E78. doi: 10.1097/JAN.0000000000000542.ABSTRACTTobacco use is a leading cause of cancer, cardiovascular and respiratory disease, and preventable death in the United States. The brains of individuals with nicotine dependence are characterized by damaged mesolimbic pathways in the medial portion of the limbic and frontal lobes, creating positive reinforcing mechanisms. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) targets this neuroadaptation to improve smokers' nicotine-related outcomes, such as craving and smoking behavior, by depolarizing or hyperpolarizing the neurons of the brai...

Culpability for offenses in frontotemporal dementia and other brain disorders
Int J Law Psychiatry. 2023 Jul 17;89:101909. doi: 10.1016/j.ijlp.2023.101909. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe responsibility of persons with brain disorders who commit offenses may depend on how their disorders alter brain mechanisms for culpability. Criminal behavior can result from brain disorders that alter social cognition including a neuromoral system of intuitive moral emotions that are absolute (deontological) normative codes and that includes an emotion-mediated evaluation of intentionality.
